I remember when many years ago, the Red Cross accepted to have the red crescent in Muslim countries in order to make their work easier, and I imagine, safer.
Controversy[edit] Israel refused to cooperate with a team appointed by United Nations General Secretary Kofi Annan in 2002 to investigate allegations of a massacre in Jenin, partly because Cornelio Sommaruga was personally unacceptable to the Israeli government, due to allegations that he had made a remark comparing the possibility of ICRC official recognition of the Red Star of David emblem (Magen David Adom, see Emblems of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement) to recognition of a "Red Swastika".[9]

The BBC can not imagine why the Scuzlims of Gaza would attack a Red Cross vehicle full of people who are only trying to help the Scuzlims.
I have a guess. Here it is:
Most "Red Cross" vehicles in Scuzlim areas are called "Red Crescent". And here is what they look like:

So my guess is, the Scuzlims, who feel themselves to be under attack by "the people of the Book" - a category which includes Christians and Jews), probably attacked the Red Cross vehicle, because it is an "Infidel" vehicle, rather than a Red Crescent vehicle for Scuzlims.
Get it?
The BBC could never figure out such a thing, could they?
